I don't think so, being red and blue at the same time is not really a
color, being brother and father at the same time is at least unusual.

Probably not. If I ask what color this is, I prefer a more definite
answer than "red or blue". I wouldn't say "red or blue" should count
as one color.

vo?

In the ideal case, the properties should probably be a "natural"
partition of some domain, but then no actual case is ideal.
